SHELVED is a work-place comedy centered around the lives of the employees and patrons at the Jameson Public Library in Parkdale as they go about their lives in this unassuming yet extraordinary place. Wendy, Head of the Jameson Branch, is an energetic dreamer who always sees the best in people and cares passionately about her library and the community of Parkdale. The staff at Jameson Public Library also includes the fastidious and judgmental Howard, who begrudgingly joins the team after getting transferred from the prestigious Midtown branch; social rights activist Jaq, who is obsessed with dystopian Young Adult novels and calling out micro-aggressions; and Assistant Branch Head, Bryce, a conservative devoted to conspiracy theories and following the letter of library law.
